gawd, i gotta take my dad's nikon d70 away from him. i'm falling in love with your pics

do you have any special flash or lenses, or do you use the built in ones?

Nope, pretty much stock for now...

In the pics im using the D70 w/ Kit Lens, 67mm B+W MRC UV Filter (which i suspect is what is causing the star patterns), and a Bogen Manfrotto Tripod. So other than the UV filter, its all stock.

My fiancee got me the 50mm 1.8d lens for my bday last month and i LOVE that lens as well.... http://www.aphexii.com/pics/riley1.jpg

I plan to get an SB600 flash sometime next week to help with portraiture.

if you don't have a camera that shoots in raw. then you have to adjust it on the camera when you shoot
